[SpaceRitual]

Watt playing a Squire cracks me up, a true punker.

[Shuffledaddy]

Great video. J Mascis and Mike Watt are both rock legends in my book.

[chocolatebomb51]

Love his 40 watt club hat..reppin Athens Ga.

[joed424]

im supprised he can get his normal sound out of an acoustic

[m3ntalcollid3r]

They say lead guitar is dying art. This shows thats its is a live and well there will be many more to come.

[LeotheOrangeCat]

I've been a fan of Watt. I hadn't appreciated J as much as I should, better late than not at all.

[1844Freddy]

best guitar combo ever

[malepanda666]

Very inspiring

[bigsmooth50]

40 WATT IN ATHENS,GA????

[ennuieffect]

mike watt and j. mascis... gods of indie rock.

[elusivEuphoria]

hax J, that's an acoustic guitar. it can't do that.

:-P

[therealskullservant]

killer, both these guys make me happy. Is that a squire Mike's playing?

[MrPlatypus70]

[BMayhew60]

Nice.

[Freemasonry]

Amazong!!

[johnnyrokkit]

WATT kicking me in the groin while MASCIS is scratching my eyes out... YAR!

\m/

[gfgoalie28]

That guitar tone is awesome. Is he going through any pedals or just putting the acoustic through the Marshall?

[GEOpz838]

Zvex Fuzz Factory

[snowgod37]

I've a squire made in indonesia it rocks punch like the gison mike uses so often... i've a few american fenders and i bought the squire modified tb something or other for 175 and it slays ...

[bobcatmonster]

this fuckin sucks

[SushiChefOttoBlum]

Perfection.......

[Stranglehold432]

Mike Watt is the man.

[tricke101]

J Mascis is the man : )

[PeripheralSenses]

They're both badass; Fair enough?

[tricke101]

Agreed :)

[Stranglehold432]

Fair enough. :D

[fohnjrusciante]

watt is playing a squier

[leveelevee]

i kinda love the fact he plays a "cheapo". i think its good to see, that you dont need to play expensive gear, espacily for younger people.

[hydro936]

I know but he like ALWAYS plays a gibson or atleast an epiphone haha

[tricke101]

Amazing performance, pure quality !!!

[ernieballsting]

mike watt is an absolute monster on the bass. look at his solid right hand technique, he strikes threw so cleanly

[groundwork121]

J Mascis wearing a 40 watt tobagan playing with Mike Watt...

[lumbo]

Goin' to see them twice this week. I'll let ya know.

[samprasjr24]

together i mean at the same venue. never know they might play a song or two

[samprasjr24]

2 of the top rock guitar and bass players ever in my opinion. cant wait to see them next week together!

[evenrane]

i really doubt you are gonna see them together next week. unless J has kicked Lou out of the band again

[blacksheep77]

mike watts band is opening for them on their tour right now if im not mistaken

[J3sT4ever]

yeah his new band is the missing men but lou barlow is the lead right now while mike is away

[mattfnmaxwell]

@evenrane lol

[Monponsett]

Mike WHAT!!!

[omH9108]

i do find it strange that mascis isnt playing a jazzmaster :/

[blacksheep77]

mascis did a whole album with his martin guitar. one of my favorites

[PinkCloud37]

I find it really weird that Watt is playing a Squier Bass.

[omH9108]

i think its awesome that he'll still rock a squier

[Parley454]

They need to make a 5 disc set of all the great people Mike Watt has played with.

[TimMcGrath74]

Only J Mascis can get away with playing a distorted acoustic. Genius.

[cowboykittycat]

what about kurt...J is better though

[almudjk]

what about Cobain on unplugged? man who sold the world

[louieptuey]

GOOD GOD, this rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[louieptuey]

Unbelievable. Never heard this version before.

[toddjosh26]

I like bassist glasses

[louieptuey]

The "bassist"? That's Mike Fucking Watt, kid!

[toddjosh26]

I know that man, and I'm not a kid, I'm a man

[syunusk]

kill me for this one.

[Daryl401]

I would kill to have a high quality mp3 of this performance. So god damn good.

[warpar]

This is music at its finest.

[snowgod37]

someone stole mikes gibson and eden rig.. fucker should burn...

[Naturality]

I hate it when people do that.

Same happened to J and SY.

I don't understand why they steal it, as they can't sell most of it off due to mods made by the owners.

Bastards.

[burningboymusic]

love this so much

[Gaz0175]

As much as I have always loved Dino Jr, I have to say that as more and more time passes my love just seems to grow exponentially...

[MCoA4ever]

good to see Mike Watt instead of Johnson

[microdol]

'nice to see Watt playing properly for a change' ? WTF ??

If he (or ANYONE) played 'properly' then they'd all be the SAME, wouldn't they ?

That's what makes a musician a musician, makes Watt Watt, and why we love the guy.

If I wanted 'proper' Bass, I'd listen to that incredibly overrated guy that was in a band from Liverpool about 40 years ago. And I'd be so friggin' bored I'd have to shoot myself.

[chuckaholicpunk]

dude I agree with you 100%.

I play bass and I hate when people say that I'm "playing wrong"

[nigelquest]

saw J at one of the recent dinosaur jr. (now with a period... apparantly) shows. looked healthy enough and was a cool gig but i thought they could have been better. mike watt is the man thou.

[thebedtookfire]

yeah ! yeah ! shit ! they are gods.

[Pandurrr]

How old is this video? I recall that, in an interview, Mike Watt said he lost the ability to play bass with a pick. He's kicking ass here.

Thanks for this video.

[evenrane]

2001

[redrick2030]

Yeah I can relate, I couldn't do a pick for awhile myself, thumb cramped up real bad. I'm just starting to get it back though. I used to love switching up between fingers and pick depending on the tune.

[bib4tuna]

@Pandurrr Heard this before and I don't quite understand this... he gets an infected taint... and can't play with a pick anymore?

[tadamcochran]

Why in the hell is Mike Watt playing a Squier!?? That's freakin awesome!

[ovneb]

he's fuckin Mike Watt, he can do anything he wants. He doesnt need an expensive bass to sound good.

[redrick2030]

It looks like one of the really old Squiers. I

played one once that looked identical to the one he's playing, and it was amazing, better than a lot of more expensive Fenders that I've played over the years.

[longlegged]

that's a gibson

[Naturality]

The bass is a Squier, but the Guitar's a Gibson.

[arles666]

j.esus masics is great at every guitar. deem, this acoustic saunds better than most electrics i have heard recently, even with fuzz-box

[natedubbbs]

This is the coolest shit  .

[sndsnd32]

this is badass

fuck yes

[sndsnd32]

fuck yes:) watt and j

[sporkyzero]

this video is awesome

[motoxchamp321]

haha..cool,matt is playing a squire

[evenrane]

yep, mike is.

[Lemonhead86]

j mascis & george berz is enough... add Mike Watt? fuckin hat trick! amazing.

[sunbeam11]

Never mind the guitar, how does he function with all that heavy snow clothing on? Nice to see Watt playing properly for a change and not running off at tangents as he's inclined to do live.

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

@sunbeam11 Mike can play however he wants. He's possibly the greatest bass player to ever to live. Don't talk shit about THE WATT!

[sunbeam11]

@spicyMcHAGGIS9green The greatest bass player ever to live? Are you his mother by any chance?

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

@sunbeam11 No, I'm not his mom. But no one can hold a candle to Watt.

[mikeee1225]

this song is amazing

i could listen to it a million times and it wouldnt get old

[HolgerregloH]

Coooooooooooooooooooooool!!!

[parasiteslost]

Nice 40Watt (my favorite venue!) hat he's wearing...saw J & the Fog twice there...for "More Light" & "Free So Free"...amazing shows!

[vbs]

I'm jealous :(

[matterask]

What's mike grinning about? He's totally messing up lol!

[Pandurrr]

He's feeling the music. :]

[flaviomoliveira]

I can´t believe that i'm watching this !!!!

[meesterrain]
